Pelican Parts Cars & Coffee -- Saturday, June 15, 2019 (in Palos Verdes)

Like the general styling on the current mustang. This is a Shelby GT350.  The car is too big though and the windows are too small... 

This very nice mini cooper S drove in.  Very nice color combo.


Nice recent Boxster in a very attractive dark red. 

This Audi R8 has the gated shifter...  Very cool 

The R5 Turbo's steering wheel has an attractive color striped section

The size of this car is more to my liking (than the Mustang, for example) 

The exhaust tips on the Carrera GT looks like the exhaust of a jet fighter plane (with the afterburners) 

The rear 3/4 view is the best view of the Daytona 

The steering wheel looks like it's at the angle of a school bus (not very vertical).  Really nice seat design with the multi-panels, two tone leather & the cooling holes for ventilation... 

Any car with a flip-up rear end is pretty cool (550 Spyder is another one...). 

The supercharger is visible below the intercooler tubing. 

This aluminum (oil?) tank looks to be hand made... 

Reminds me of my 1987 MR2 that I put about 100,000 miles on... 

This 1958 VW is the father of all the Porsches around it... 

The Jaguar XJ220 doesn't look too big next to these more newer cars... 


This is one of the best views of the car 

I really like the wheels on this car 

 

The interior looks like it's from an 1980s Toyota Camry.  I think the Camry was higher quality... 

Another good angle for this car... 

The gray 911 is a 50th anniversary edition 

This Alfa has a pretty funky instrument panel 

Audi Quattro.  Cool seat cushion and door panel trim. 

GB's 356.  Nice license plate frame  (the dealer is long gone...) 

The car is pretty stock except for the steering wheel. 

Two convertibles next to each other... 

This angle really shows off the upside down bathtub shape of the body 

The Boxster I like... 

This old BMW 5 series is very modified but mostly in an interesting way... 

Interesting light color inserts in the door panels 

This Thing looks like a lot of fun to drive, especially around the beach cities... 

The interior of the DeLorean  is pretty low quality.  The hand brake lever on the LH side of the driver's seat is pretty crappy looking & would get in the way of going in and out of the car!

The BMW i* Roadster in pretty cool...

Cool Toyota Starlet.  Wish the purple color was just a little bit darker (more like a dark eggplant)...

The big rockers on this McLaren look pretty tough to get in and out of... 

The interior is too dark... 

Looks good in black.  Much better than red or white... 

The hills are still pretty green in PV... 

Nice trim along the wheel openings and rockers.   I like this look better than the flared fender add-on look. 

Nice Moto-Lita Wheel. 

Australian plate. 

The valve cover on this 2002 looks nice polished (I have one somewhere in the garage). 

Unfortunate steering wheel... 

Nice contrast between the two mid-engined cars on the left. 

Real 356 speedster 

nice installation of a small block in a 24Z 


This Boxster is a very attractive dark chocolate  color with a nearly match cloth top.  This is the color combo I would choose for a Boxster.

Like the "6C" logo on the top of the intake manifold. 

Would like to have one of these valve covers...
